ok i take everything back lmao

me when i return from two weeks full of studying and i see that there are four-hundred-thirty-six new replies on the thread and find out 40% of the replies came from a fight:

i’ve come to realize that as long as this thread is up, people will fight. getting angry at people is just wasted energy for me. i can’t keep going off every single some something happens because it’s really just inevitable, no matter how many times i update the OP or how many petty gifs and long rants of disappointment i post, nothing will really change.

i have a life outside of these forums and it’s pretty evident that i’m going on less and less bc i’m doing lots of work for school and eating lots of croissants
i can’t control people that are 3+ years older than me like a babysitter, and i don’t rlly have the power to.
at this point, i see that i actually don’t need to step in because people are mediating and i am super grateful for those people. i am so appreciative of the people that try their best to keep this community positive. i know its hard to keep something as heated as a ranting thread controlled, so i honestly admire the people here who don’t even own the thread and choose to help keep this lil grotto full of rainbows n sunshine. :sunny:

just wanna remind everyone here that if arguments ever break out, don’t be afraid to step in and politely ask them to take any fights to the PMs or at least another type of thread. i kno a lot of people are sick of the fights, but i’m seeing that most of them don’t happen on “purpose” exactly. people will get pressed and start throwing shade like its a crime of passion, so we might have to remind people to cool down. i’ve had times where i’ve popped off without realizing where i was and who i was around so i totally understand why the fights here happen. giving simple reminders to try and keep this place supportive is key

again, thank you guys :sparkling_heart::heart::two_hearts::sparkles: i’m going to log off for another 3 years and then come back again with two croissants later

WHERE DID MY GIF GO IT WAS SO COOL I LOVE UNCLE JESSE HE’S SUCH A DAD
ok i got it back it’s all good

I have no idea whether you would hate me or not after reading this...and I am also not trying to raise an argument. So please, no arguments at all. I request you.

I have seen many homosexual people in this community and believe it or not, I am proud of them for coming out as who they are.
But I gotta tell you – I am a homophobe person. This doesn’t mean that I hate homosexuals or wish any bad against them, it just means that according to the religion which I follow, it sees homosexuality as a bad or evil omen. I don’t wish any harm upon them, but I am kinda scared of them and also want to avoid them.
One of my close friends just came out to be homosexual few years ago. Many people around were proud of her to accept herself as who she was. But I had no idea how to act out in that situation. So I just took silent passiveness as a way of relief and just silently agreed with them, even though I was facing inner conflicts.
I have seen many homophobic posts getting flagged in this community. Its absolutely correct to flag those posts which are offending to any community. But not all of them were offending, right? Not all of them wished bad against the homosexuals.
This community is for sharing our opinions, discussing them and and making out a solution which would improve us for the better. I am a Hindu, and don’t eat meat. So is it good that I once posted that we should respect and protect animals and that post got flagged because my post made someone believe that cows are sacred in Hindu religion and thus that post offended other religions as they eat cow meat? Is it good really? I was just trying to say that animals are their own beings too and should be respected as such.
Just because I am a homophobe, doesn’t mean I disrespect homosexuality. Its a vice-versa situation – if we respect homosexuals, they should respect us too.
And I would not abandon my religion just because of this. I was born a Hindu, and I would take my last breath as a Hindu. Please respect that.
This is just a friendly message to all the LGBTQ+ people (and everyone else) out there. I don’t wish any strife between us. You all are my brothers and sisters and I respect you all as your are. But please don’t use our religion as a medium to disrespect us.
I have tried to keep quiet about this as much as I could. But this situation was getting outta hand and…everyone has a limit to endure right?
Thank you.

Ok yes but. My grandpa is Muslim but he still doesn’t care. Like. Just because it’s your religion doesn’t mean you have the right to judge us for loving the same sex. And can I ask. What makes you scared of us @Manik

I guess that maybe now, I am not scared of you. Maybe I am afraid of the repurcussions of what would happen if I support you and be very vocal and optimistic about it. Just so you know, my family is super orthodox and I am just…scared and afraid that they would…I dunno…rebuke me? Leave me?
